Illustration of an occupied diving bell.. The diving bell is one of the earliest types of equipment for underwater work and exploration. [10] Its use was first described by Aristotle in the 4th century BC: "...they enable the divers to respire equally well by letting down a cauldron, for this does not fill with water, but retains the air, for it is forced straight down into the water."
Scuba diver of the late 1960s. The history of scuba diving is closely linked with the history of the equipment.By the turn of the twentieth century, two basic architectures for underwater breathing apparatus had been pioneered; open-circuit surface supplied equipment where the diver's exhaled gas is vented directly into the water, and closed-circuit breathing apparatus where the diver's carbon ...
The timeline of underwater diving technology is a chronological list of notable events in the history of the development of underwater diving equipment.With the partial exception of breath-hold diving, the development of underwater diving capacity, scope, and popularity, has been closely linked to available technology, and the physiological constraints of the underwater environment.
The program at the first European Championship in 1967 consisted of two underwater swimming races over distances of 40 and 1,000 metres (130 and 3,280 ft), an M-course and a team competition for three competitors involving two swims of 1,150 metres (3,770 ft) and the completion of an underwater task at the end of the first swim. The underwater ...
In 1945, he invented a more flexible model, which was copied and used for underwater hunting. [3] After the end of the Second World War, these fins and the open circuit underwater breathing apparatus (Aqua Lung) helped develop the scuba diving popularized by Philippe Tailliez and Jacques-Yves Cousteau. De Corlieu was constantly involved in ...

The history of breath-hold diving goes back at least to classical times, and there is evidence of prehistoric hunting and gathering of seafoods that may have involved underwater swimming. Technical advances allowing the provision of breathing gas to a diver underwater at ambient pressure are recent, and self-contained breathing systems ...
